144."It is the artist, not the critic,* who gives society something of lasting value." a person who
evaluates works of art, such as novels, films, music, paintings, etc.
1.艺术家在艺术创作中的贡献是不可否认的。
2.批评家的工作使得大众明白什么是真正的艺术,从而促进艺术的普及并推进艺术家的工作。
3.批评家帮助大众形成自己的对真正持久的艺术的看法,从而帮助有才华的艺术家脱颖而出,也使得旷世杰作得以流传。
4.批评家对艺术家的工作不断提出批评,与艺术家的活动形成互动,好的评论能够打动人心,促进好作品的诞生,从而创造出不朽的艺术价值。
Two kinds of people influence human's artistic development heavily. One is the artists, while the other is the critics. Insofar as
the media has paid much attention on the achievement made by the artists, it makes a great deal of people take it for granted that artists are more important than critics in nourishing the art. However, further reflection shows that besides artist, if there is no critic, we actually can not get anything of lasting value.
First of all, I must admit that at most time it is the artist that creates invaluable works of art. We always feel amazed when we enjoy the grand compositions left throughout the history. When attending in a concert, we are often so indulged in the heavenly-like music that we even do not realize the end of the music. And while enjoying the wonderful paintings in the museum, we always can not help wondering on human's brilliant imagination in creating such perfect artworks. Thus it is not surprising that there are so many fans for those world-famous artists, even though some of them have left this world for a long time.
Although I agree that artists are important in making invaluable articles, I insist that critics are necessary in devoting something that owns lasting value to the society. In the first place, the critics teach the common people what art is and how to appreciate it, thus cultivating a love of art in the whole society. Once we open the newspaper, we can easily find some reports written by some critics about the latest films or novels. Many people just come to know what is a good film or novel by reading these articles; furthermore, they come to understand how to enjoy these works of art for the critics usually comment on the advantages and disadvantages of these works. It is very useful in wide spreading the art among common people and nourishing it as well, meanly if there is no audience for these works of art, how can the artists survive and develop themselves? Not to say the outcome of artworks.
In the second place, the critics' work helps the common people to develop their own ideas about the value of the works of art they enjoy; and it can help those outstanding artists come into prominence. After appreciating a considerable amount of works and then reading numerous comments on these works, it is natural for everyone to form their own opinions about what kind of composition is decent and elegant and what is the opposite. This is really beneficial for those outstanding artists to win more fans and then enlarge their working scope. And their works thus can be known by more tasteful people as well.
Further more, the critics comment on the works of the artists so frequently that in fact, they can form an interaction with the latter. Thinking about if an artist has done badly in his work for a period of time, and then was criticized by many critics severely; it is inevitable that he or she will be excluded from the artistic circle from then. In this way, the artists somehow have to try hard to create wonderful compositions. Vice versa, when many of the artists have improved their skills and made out better works, they surely will ask the critics to extend their horizon and keep paralleled with them as well. Constructive criticism, if taken to heart, can result in better work. There was once a well-known poetic critic named Ezra Pound who called for the poets to write poems by using images. The theory he advocated was called "Imagism" and had dominated the world poetic field in 1930s. Many poets at that time created a great many impressing poems by his theory, and some of these poems are still popular nowadays. They have become the classic.
From what has been discussed above, we may safely draw the conclusion that we can not develop the art without the critics. It is both the artists and the critics that work together and keep some valuable works of art for our society.
